FANTASTIC RESULT

Bless her she seems so emotional talking to Claire Balding.
I agree with Ian Stark about not being the top 3 we'd have expected, but think everyone deserved the placings they got.

Really well done to Tina, and of course, Miners Frolic

 

[Thistle]

great result. Pleased hinrich won, he really is what the olympics are about, A dentist who rides part time and only has one good horse beating the best in the world!

I like Mckinley too.

Was I the only one willing the others to make mistakes.

Brilliant for Tina, I am so pleased for her.
I was lucky enough to go to Sydney when Tina was reserve, she was so disappointed not to be riding but so supportive of the team. I'm glad her time has come

Thistle - don't worry, mum and I were squealing when poles fell!

 

[Foxford]

What a great competition, and talk about rising to the occasion!!

Well done Tina & Miners Frolic.

[ernikins]

[AutumnRose]

Yay - fantastic ride from Tina and super jumping from MF - so pleased for her. Rosie and her Mum fell in love with him at Gatcombe last year.
ETA - strange how few people seem to have been on here this afternoon - was there something special going on?

 

[guisbrogal]

Congratulations to all the riders and terrific well done to Tina. They have all worked so hard!

I got my ironing done without even realising I was doing it

 

[Maesfen]

Wonderful result all around from everyone involved with our team at all I think. Let's hope the showjumpers can do us proud too (and the dressage, not to leave them out!)

Roll on London!

 

[longtalltilly]

what a fantastic finish!!! I think we were all willing others to have poles etc!!!

 

[EventingMad]

Same here me and Mum were been rather naughty and shouting when the poles fell!
Such a superb performance by the whole team and especially Tina who has produced MF so well and what a truly special chap he is have admired him for such a long time!
It just shows how much depth we’ve got in British Eventing to get the medal with two such huge loses to the team.
Come on GB SJ and Dressage teams now!

When I was grooming for an event rider a few years ago I remember watching Miners Frolic's dressage at Highclere in the OI whilst boss was warming up and he looked so classy then (won it too!). What a lovely horse and well done to the whole team and their horses too.

 

[elliegirl12]

she sooo desearved it 2 more medals for the olypics lol

 

[Eventerlad15]

She did an amazing job. I thought that he was to inexperienced and wouldn't be able to cope but he proved once again just how good he is. The least experienced GB horse did the best- BIG WELL DONE!!

 

[wizoz]

I've just sat and watched it all and I have to say I had goose bumps all over and tears in my eyes. Bless her, I so wanted to give her a big hug. What an achievement. Well done Tina and Team GB.xxx
